SELECTION METHOD, SELECTION SYSTEM, SELECTION DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A selection method for selecting, using a selection device and an information processing device connected through a communication network, product information to be written on a wireless tag from a memory unit of the selection device, comprising:
- a step of transmitting product information stored in the memory unit of the selection device to the information processing device when the selection device receives a transmission request for product information from the information processing device;
a storing step of storing a history of the received transmission request for product information in a history database by the selection device;
a determination step of determining priority rankings for product information by the selection device, based on the history stored in the history database; and
a step of reading a predetermined number of pieces of product information having higher priority rankings determined in the determination step from the memory unit and outputting the product information as information to be written on a wireless tag from the selection device to a wireless tag writing device.

Abstract
A downstream server stores product information on a radio-frequency (RF) tag outputted from a reader/writer into a database. A processing unit executes various processing using product information stored in the database. If product information necessary for the processing unit to execute various processing is not stored in the database, a transmission request for the product information is outputted to an upstream server. The upstream server transmits the product information stored in a memory unit to the downstream server. The upstream server stores the history of received transmission requests for product information in a history database. The upstream server determines priority rankings for product information, based on the history stored in the history database. The upstream server outputs a predetermined number of pieces of product information having higher priority rankings determined to a reader/writer as information to be written on a RF tag.
